Blob is the most recent addition to Marvel Snap’s vibrant roster, a double-effect card with the ability to unite the Power of the deck into one card. But is he really worth it? Should you purchase Blob when it becomes available this December? The short answer is: “It depends.” But if you’d like to get a detailed explanation, read the following card overview. Here’s everything you need to know about Blob before his debut.
Marvel Snap: Is Sebastian Shaw Worth It?
For those looking to see if Sebastian Shaw is any good in Marvel Snap, this honest review reveals his true worth.
Blob Card Overview
Blob is an On Reveal Series 5 card with a Cost of six and a Power of four. Upon hitting the board, Blob absorbs the collective Power of all the cards in the deck—removing them for good. Blob is unique in his ability to counter Darkhawk, removing all his buff on turn six or seven.
Pros:
- The best Darkhawk counter yet.
- Massive end-game potential.
- Good fit for Hela decks.
Cons:
- Risky play.
- Limited synergies.
How Blob Works
Blob is passive in hand and deck. His effect is triggered upon hitting the board: Merge with all the cards in the deck and absorb their Power. But Blob comes with a restriction: you cannot move him the entire game.
To put that in perspective, assume you have three cards in the deck: The Infinaut, Abomination, and Hulk. On turn six, you draw and play Blob. What happens next is Blob takes up their collective Power, becoming a 45-Power card on its own.
Here are some notes about his mechanics:
- Sauron will remove all of Blob’s abilities, not just his Ongoing restriction.
- The cards Blob consumes cannot be resurrected.
- Blob has no merge limit.
- Both On Reveal- and Ongoing-affecting cards can trigger him.
Best Synergies for Blob
Blob’s best companions are powerhouses like Hulk, Magneto, Death, and The Infinaut. However, he creates solid synergies with Hela, Sunspot, She-Hulk, Electro, Thanos, and Devil Dinosaur.
Strategy-wise, a Hela or ramp deck with multiple big cards is ideal. Blob thrives in these archetypes as they are guaranteed to have powerful options in the deck for the final round.
Who Should Get Blob in Marvel Snap
Blob is worth the price, especially if you acquire it through Spotlight Caches. However, he’s a niche card that only ramp players can capitalize on. While he’s undoubtedly a dominant card, Blob is too RNG-reliant for an average player. If your big cards leave the deck before round six, he is essentially useless.
